What is a UC presentation?

Diagnostic presentations such as borderline personality disorder, substance misuse disorders, binge eating, ADHD, and bipolar are considered the spectrum of disorders characterised by emotion dysregulation or undercontrol (UC). DBT is an evidence based therapeutic approach that targets maladaptive undercontrol.

"At the Australian DBT Institute we recommend assessing an individual's coping style before commencing a DBT or Radically Open DBT program. This can help identify usual coping patterns, informing the identification of the most appropriate therapeutic intervention, and contribute to a better understanding of how an individual manages stress and challenges"
Dr. Peter King, Clinical & Academic Lead
